Seven observers participated in the Ballard County CBC yesterday, 12/16/2014. I
think we tallied 86 species, a bit below average, due in part to breezy
conditions and in part due to below-average waterfowl diversity. Been dry in
Ballard County this fall and water levels still being pumped up there. Flocks
of weedy field/edge habitats were more sparsely distributed than normal. Also
missing were the typical thousands of blackbirds, and we missed both Brewer's
and cowbird.
Highlights included a tardy Great Egret, an adult Golden Eagle on the WMA, a
few American Woodcocks, a flock of American Pipits, several flocks of Lapland
Longspurs, and BOTH species of vultures ... we often miss one or both for some
reason.
Thanks to all who participated.
